I have been teaching actively, both in private and group settings, since 2010. As an instructor at the Lawrence Academy of Music, coach for Heid Music's Rock U camp, and music specialist at Camp Interlaken JCC, I have taught workshops on songwriting, improvisation, and on playing in a rock band, showing students how to apply their musical skills to express their own creativity. I am a four year veteran of the unique Mile of Music education team, which seeks to break down the distinction between festival artist and festival goer by encouraging all attendees of Appleton's Mile of Music summer festival to get involved in the music making process. Through my work with Slipstream and the Lawrence University Outreach Jazz Combo, I have presented and performed at Drake University, Interlochen Arts Academy, UW-Oshkosh, and in the Appleton, WI public schools. ​For me, teaching music is all about inspiring a love for the process. I work with my students to set goals that they will both be able to reach and that they will enjoy getting to. In addition to teaching through All Things Musik and at Spark Music Studio in Osseo, MN, I am currently available for guitar, songwriting, and composition lessons for students of all levels and ages, so click the contact button on the left to get in touch!
